Large Garage Car

The hire-car, which belongs to one of the large garages here, was then driven to Brenan Road and into a lane off that thoroughfare. Two of the gang left the vehicle and walked farther into the lane. After a few minutes they returned with a Chinese boy, about 8 years old. They put the child in the back of the car and drove westwards along Brenan Road. At a deserted point well within the badlands they halted, removed the boy from the car and returned the uniform to the chauffeur. Then they vanished with their vi tim. The driver was not harmed. After dressing himself he returned to his garage.
